Damned if u do, damned if u don't---Catch 22

Do u ever feel like whatever u do, it doesn't matter, others will still receive it indifferently? It's like knowing that even though u try to do ur best, others will put u down or have already dismissed ur efforts? Like u've been passed over, u don't count, ur opinion null & void? It could involve any situation---ever meet people who think they are better than u & treat u like ur below their level? They know nothing about u, they're not interested in getting to know anything about u, but they've already formulated an opinion about u based on hearsay & what they preconceived about u?.....

All part of being human---wanting everyone to love u & accept u & who u are. Ideally we should easily accept those who are kind & nice. But people are shallow & base their likes on superficial values like looks or wealth. "He's good-looking so he'll make me look good to be around him." It's a cliquish high school mentality that we never escape.....

What kind of friends do u surround urself with? Are u all-inclusive & tolerant of all types & have a diverse group of friends? Or are u very exclusive & only make friends with those who look a certain way or are on a higher class or are on the same league as u & walk around like ur entitled?

Step one is to not "feel" that way, but rather "accept" that that is simply the way things are.

Step two is to not care.

Think one should acknowledge it & be aware of it, but never accept it. We're all sentient beings, we care too much. But sometimes, most times, u just have to say, "Fuck it, I'm gona do what makes me happy no matter what anyone thinks!"

Ever feel some are just born lucky, just the right everything to make it easily thru life? Besides trust-fund babies, ever feel some just get handed things to them without much effort just because they look the part, they look right, they fit in? While others have to struggle & strive to make ends meet, to be recognized & appreciated?

That's the case with the sons of the owner where my friend works. They're trust-fund babies & all they do is get high & party. They've both been to rehab multiple times. They have a lump of hundred dollar bills in their wallet all the time. The older one lost his license from too many DUIs, so he has a chauffer drive him around in his Maserati.....Man if I was loaded like them, I'd be like Albert Barnes, traveling the world, enjoying all the beauty the world has to offer, amassing a great collection of art, something to leave behind.....

Some just don't know how lucky they have it. How easy life would be if they had their act together.

Rene_Aensland saidI stopped getting angry at it after some time, it's not worth it. They usually grow up to be very unhappy.

It's pretty sad. =/

Imagine being Prince William or Harry? All that wealth, prestige, entitlement....

They're not American.The thing is about America and its very sad at this moment in life...The young generation are told by social media to Live like its your last day.Or the "You only Live once," a positive message but a very misleading one.

Am I making sense? lol

So it's like "Live for now." "It's all about me. I'm special & a unique individual."

It should be "Live in the moment, u have every right to enjoy & feel special. But think about tomorrow too & future generations." Consumer consumed. Damned if u do, damed if u don't---Catch 22.....
